Metamorphosis was key not only in Pablo Picasso's work but also in his private life. He had a fantastic range of hats, caps, and other headgear from all over the world and liked to use them whenever he met a visitor for the first time. Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Mougins 30.12.1969.

Pablo Picasso stands with hands on hips in an arched doorway at his home, Mas Notre-Dame-de-Vie in Mougins. He wears a dark beanie—part of a vast collection of headgear he used to greet visitors—along with glasses, a cravat, a sweater, and a cardigan over patterned trousers. A wide-angle lens captures the distorted perspective of the room, which is filled with personal effects including an empty birdcage, a sculpted mask, framed portraits, and various papers. 30 December 1969.
